Answer 1:
This looks very much like a homework question
to me. And you are almost done anyway. You just
have to think about what is going to happen to the
H+ ions.
When Magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid it
forms Magnesium chloride and the free H
+ ions get surrounded by water
molecules. So a better way to balance this
equation is to write:
Mg + 2 HCl + 2 H2O =
MgCl2 + 2 H3O+
I hope this helps you understand the balance of
this reaction a little bit better.
